Ying Yang Evolution

Where life does flourish,
In the heat of the jungle,
Death always follows --
Raising souls from the nether;
Reborn in starry ether.

I didn't see this reply. Why don't Soupers get e-mail notices when people leave replies -- at least, we should have that option. I pray all goes well, Sara. :-)
